Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings Cake: 2 cups white sugar 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1 cup milk ½ cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 1 cup boiling water Frosting: 1 teaspoon peppermint extract ½ cup milk 1 cup butter, softened 1 (32 ounce) package confectioners' sugar ½ teaspoon green gel food coloring, or as needed 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips Ganache: ½ cup butter, softened 10 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract; mix using an electric mixer until smooth. Whisk in boiling water. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cake cool 10 to 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. While cake is cooling, combine milk and peppermint extract in a small bowl and set aside. Cream butter in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Pour in confectioners' sugar and peppermint-milk mixture alternately while continuing to beat. Add green food coloring until frosting reaches desired color. Whip frosting on high until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide between two bowls. Stir chocolate chips into 1/2 the frosting using a spoon. Set mint-chocolate chip frosting aside. Frost cooled cake with pure mint frosting without chocolate chips. Place cake in the refrigerator to set. Meanwhile, combine chocolate squares and butter in a double boiler; stir until thoroughly melted. Remove from heat. Stir ganache vigorously to a smooth consistency. Remove cake from the refrigerator. Cover entire cake with ganache; return to the refrigerator and allow to completely set, about 30 minutes. Remove set cake from the refrigerator. Frost sides of cake with mint chocolate chip frosting.
